CHAPTER II

THE NEWTYPE MESSIAHS

"GUYS!" yelled Francis Backmeyer. "You have to see this!" Shortly after he shouted, Heinz Baer, Greg Polanski, and a few other allies ran over to him to see his findings. "It's a Gundam!"

"Quick!" yelled Greg. "Grab a mobile suit and start lifting the ruble!" Several of the officers then ran to their GM cannons or RX-77-4 Guncannon 2's and started to lift the rubble off of the Gundam. Greg, his commandos, and Gary Rogers' corps had just come back from a rescue mission to rescue Heinz Baer and Francis Backmeyer to find their base in ruins and with no sign of survivors. Shortly after their arrival, Francis heard the news and kicked a pile of junk in anger and accidentally discovered the Gundam lying within the pile. Now, a short few minutes later, they uncovered the mechanical machine. It wasn't the famous RX-78-2, however, but it was a variation. It had the same body as the RX-78-2 except it had an armored blue chest with yellow vents, white armored shoulders, and red armored legs with yellow vents. On it's left arm it had a special shield with a two barrel beam gun with a blade attached in the middle, and on it's left shoulder it had rocket gun.

"It's the Perfect Gundam", said Heinz.

"The what?" asked Greg.

"It's one of the two Gundams from Operation Newtype", said Heinz.

"Never heard of it", said Greg.

"General Revil had two Gundams built so that two ace, or a Newtype if possible, could lead an assault on Greenwich base that could turn the tide of the battle", said Heinz. "Soon the whole operation wasn't about winning Greenwich but that the two pilots destined to fly the Gundams into battle were to be the leaders of the Rebellion and would be the heroes of the Last Battle, or the battle that would decide whether Earth went to Zeon or the Rebellion.

"Spare me the prophecy crap", said Francis. "Who made this up anyway? A drugged nun?"

"It was one of Rowan Zimmerman's, the guy who built the two Gundams, men", said Heinz. "It was supposed to be a joke, but he repeated his joke over a drink with his babe. His babe was a really, and I mean really, big gossip, so she told all of Colorado and soon the whole Rebellion was believing in this stuff".

"So am I the destined Newtype to pilot the Perfect Gundam into glory?" asked Francis.

"No", said Greg. "You are defiantly not a Newtype."

"He can pilot it for now", said Heinz. "He'll just get away from the thing once we find out 'Newtype Messiah'".

"Wait a minute", said Francis. "If there were two Gundams and we just found one, shouldn't the other be nearby?"

"Good thinking, Francis", said Greg. "Gary! We need your boys to dig another hole!"

"Can't we just blow a hole with a mega particle cannon?" asked Gary.

"We might have another Gundam under here", said Greg.

"JESUS!" yelled Gary. "I'll be right on it." Shortly after that, several mobile suits were lifting large pieces of trash and old mobile suit parts in the area. An hour later, something suspicious was finally discovered. Within half a second, the entire mobile suits in the area were lifting parts and uncovering a new weapon. A few minutes later, the mobile suits were done with the digging and uncovered a new Gundam.

"The FA-78-1", said Heinz. "The Full Armor Gundam." The Full Armor Gundam was similar to the Perfect Gundam, yet very different. It had the body of the G3 Gundam, otherwise known as the RX-78-3. It had green and black armor all over its body, except for a few places. It also had a twin barrel beam gun strapped on its left gauntlet and a shoulder cannon on it's left shoulder.

"Let's test them out", said Heinz. "I'll be in the Full Armor Gundam and Francis will try the Perfect Gundam".

"Fine with me", said Gary. Heinz and Francis then ran over to their Gundams and opened the hatch.

"Remarkable!" exclaimed Francis. "The cockpits are in perfect condition!"

"Let's just see if the buttons work", said Heinz. He then jumped into the cockpit, strapped himself in, and pressed the on button. He waited for the Gundam to turn on, but it didn't work. "It's not working. Francis, is yours working?"

"No luck", said Francis. Heinz couldn't believe it. They were on the verge of discovering the one weapon that might turn the tide of the war that they have been fighting for too long. With all the anger pent up inside him he punched the control panel, and all of a sudden it started working.

"FRANCIS!" yelled Heinz. "Just punch the control panel!"

"Why the hell would I do that?" asked Francis.

"JUST DO IT!" yelled Heinz. He immediately heard a punching noise, and then a cry from Francis.

"It worked!" exclaimed Francis. "I knew they would!"

"Yeah, yeah", said Heinz. "Let's just get these babes off their ass for the first time in their lives." He then moved the controls so that the Gundam would begin to rise. It rose slowly, but it was on its feet within a minute. "This is fantastic! Under all that rubble this babe still is able to move! Let's see it it's joints need oiling". He then moved the controls so that the Gundam would move forward, and it remarkably did. He then charged the thrusters and moved the controller so that the Gundam would move upward, and it remarkably moved upward. He then aimed his twin beam cannon at a pile of junk and fired, and both cannons seemed to be working. With one sweeping motion he turned the Gundam around and fired his shoulder cannon at another junk pile, and the pile blew up. He reached to the Gundam's back, unsheathed the beam sabers, and then activated them, and they hummed perfectly.

"This is so awesome!" yelled Francis. "This is my baby! No one can have her!"

"Maybe you are the Newtype Messiah after all", said Gary. Heinz chuckled at the comment and turned the Gundam towards Francis, but saw something disturbing- a Zeonic News Crew coming to take footage of the two Gundams.

"FRANCIS GET DOWN!" yelled Heinz. Francis then used the thrusters to make his Gundam leap away and Heinz lifted up his barrel arm. He then aimed for the film crew, which was moving real fast. "Come one baby, don't let me down". He kept trying to aim at the helicopter, but they were zigzagging too much. Then, Heinz had a nerve in his brain told him to shoot at that very moment, which is what he did. The two beam cannons sputtered out of the barrel and flew right through the helicopter, causing it to explode.

"What the hell did you just do?" yelled Gary.

"That was a Zeek television crew", said Heinz. "I tried to stop them from filming us".

"They probably have already filmed us", said Francis. "On live TV."

"We have to leave", said Heinz.

"To where?" asked Gary. "There aren't many places to be." They then pondered for a moment, wondering what destiny had in store for them. Heinz knew he couldn't beat destiny, but he would sure do a hell of a job in trying.
